WWAWD Telling your parents to fuck off?

Throwaway and phone

I had my parents over for dinner this weekend (60s) and after my daughter (10) asked if she could play us a song she had been practicing on her keyboard (she gets lessons)

It wasn't perfect, few missed notes, a couple pauses, but she did really well. She looked up at the end, massive smile, and I started clapping and my parents started fucking laughing.

Not just a little chuckle. A massive fucking belly laugh. Them both

My mom asked if it was her first time playing it and my dad said it had to have been. A dog could have played that better.

It was like my daughter was shrinking on the spot and she looked down and said "no, I've had 2 lessons but doing it with 2 hands is hard " and they just laughed even fucking harder.

I just stood up, took their cups and said leave. Now. My mom tried to say about how they hadn't finished their drinks, they wanted to hear another song etc and said "get your stuff and get the fuck out of my house right now"

My dad started doing this huffing thing he does when someone dares to speak up to him and my mom said that " there was no need to be like this. That I can't protect her all the time and she preparing my daughter for the real world. "

I said "it's not teaching the real world, they're just nasty little bullies picking on children and shit like this is why I was so fucked up as kid. Now leave"

They got their stuff and left. I sat with my daughter and explained how proud of her I was and how well she was doing. To ignore them. They were just being cruel because they don't know any other way to be and asked if she could please play it again, which she did.

On the Sunday I messaged and said that until they can behave like decent human beings that we're taking a break away from them.

My dad replied that it was my choice but he didn't realise he raised me to be so precious

Now my lovely brown nosing golden child of a sister is getting involved. She phoned me today with my parents version of events telling me a I was a "nasty piece of work" and should never speak to my parents that way. That I'm wrapping my child in cotton wool and blah blah blah. I just told her to go fuck herself and hung up.

I'm not asking if I'm in the wrong for standing up for my daughter. I'll always do that.

But I did go pretty 0-100. I kicked them out straight away. I swore at them and in front of my daughter. I did raise my voice at the end when i said leave.

I was and still am angry. I don't think I'd even accept an apology from them at this point. This behaviour isn't new, it's decades old. But this is the first time it effected my daughter.

Did I go to far? React too much? Should I have tried to be calmer? Talk it out? I dunno AITAH?

Edit: lots of people think I'm a mom lol

Nope, single dad

Also, thank you all for your comments. Def calming the anger I felt and making me feel less shit for the way I reacted

Edit 2: I really appreciate all the comments. Even the ones calling me mama bear lol

I never doubted I was in the right for standing up for my daughter. Just how I went about it. I'm gunna sit and talk with my daughter about it all either tomorrow after school or on the weekend. My parents and sister can just disappear for all I care rn

To all the commenters that said they wish they had someone like me when they were younger, I get it man. I really do. I hope you got someone now or are able to be that someone. Reading all these comments def changed my anger into sadness/realisation that I'm not alone with the shitty parents.

Thanks for sharing and thanks for the comments guys (even the trolls, you were great)

ALSO!! please stop giving awards. Its a throwaway. Don't waste your money

Edit 3: really appreciate all the comments and dms. But my phones going a bit mad with it all so I'm gunna delete the account. I'm gunna keep the post up tho coz people have posted a bunch of links I'd like to look into this weekend

Thanks all

Do you think this one is fake, Indian, or.... maybe this is how Indians troll, idk.

AITA for telling my sister she is a Bridezilla because she doesn't let us poop in her wedding​



I know, the title is crazy, let me resume this. I apologize in advance for my grammar, English is not my first language. I (30f) have 5 sisters, the second one is Marleny (42f) that recently got engaged with her third husband. The wedding was Sunday afternoon in the countryside in a beautiful field of a farm, we had an amazing weather and everything seem perfect. Except one thing. The location of the wedding was 25 min walking from the house with proper bathrooms and toilets. The solution my sister had? Portable toilets, one for the ladies, one for men. The problem? Marleny forbidden everyone on pooping in this toilets because "it can ruined the whole moment". My grandmother is a 92 years old lady with hips problems, so, when she tell me she needed to poop, walking up to the house wasn't an option. So I told Marleny about it, that she could have an exception with grandma, but she denied it, she said and I quot "Let the old woman walk, I don't give a sht if it take her all the afternoon" I saw red. I immediately take grandma to the toilet, she made business, and go back to her seat. She thanked me. Marleny, obviously went to the toilet to "supervise" and made a scene. So I tell her she was a reptile monster (here in my country is not common the name bridezilla) for not letting grandma to go to the toilet in peace and I encouraged everyone to take a sht in the portable toilets. If the groom wasn't next to her, she would have strangled me. She began to cry and said that the wedding was ruined. My other sisters went to comfort her and I left the wedding.
So AITA? Maybe I didn't respect some boundaries and ruined her da, but poor grandma. Idk...

I had to unsubscribe from AITAH because it was all selfish people getting validated.

One was like my parents are divorced, and my dad has done everything possible to be a good father but I kinda want to cut him out of my life entirely because it's annoying having to stay with him on weekends. Then everyone in the comments was like "you prioritize your own mental health, go to a courtroom and say you never want to see him again. For you, because you deserve it."

Holy shit you said your dad is a good father can you understand how this will destroy him???

That's a really fucked up thing to do to a little kid. It'll be the thing she remembers most about her awful grandparents, too. Not Christmas, not vacations, not birthdays, but the time they laughed at her shitty keyboard playing. And in ten years, while they're dying in their diapers, they'll wonder why she never comes to visit. Not wanting your daughter to feel like shit is not coddling, and anyone who'd do that is just a piece of shit you're better off without.

They mention using a toilet rather than just letting grandma drop a log in the middle of the aisle so I think it's probably spics.
